Raoul and Christine were on their way to madam Giry's house. Christine stared out the window in a daze not really noticing what was going on around her. Raoul stared at Christine and admired her beauty. The buggy came to a stop and Raoul got out first and helped Christine out. They walked up to the door and knocked. They could hear someone inside walking around. Madam Giry opened the door. She had a huge look of surprise on her face. "Christine, Raoul what are you doing here". She moved forward and gave Christine a big hug. "Come, come" she said motioning for them to come in. They followed her inside. "Can I get you anything"? She asked.
"No thank you" said Christine.
"Madam Giry, Thank you for the offer but this is not really a social visit" said Raoul. "Oh. Then why are you here".
"Is there any chance that you would know were Erik is" asked Christine. "I need to find him". Madam Giry paused.
"Why do you need to find Erik"?
"I need to tell him that I love him".
"It appears she shows more affection for……..Erik then she does for me" said Raoul trying to be a gentle man but feeling an over whelming feeling of sadness.
Erik was walking through the house just about to go get Madam Giry to tell her about Meg when he heard some one knock on the door. Erik ran back to his room so not to be seen through any windows. He heard madam Giry go answerer the door.
"Raoul, Christine" he heard her say.
What are they doing here Thought Erik? Have I not been touched enough to know that they are together. Know I have to hear them. Erik did not want to listen to what they had to say but yet he did at the same time. He wanted to hear Christine's beautiful voice. He could Barley make out what they were saying. Then he heard Christine say something that completely made his heart stop.
"I need to tell him that I love him".
She loves me. Thought Erik she really loves me. Erik felt overwhelming joy. He wanted to run down to Christine and take her in his arms. He wanted to hold her and tell her that he loved her to. Erik was so filled with joy that he did not notice that Meg giry had woken up. She toke one look at Erik and screamed. Erik was startled by this. He was so busy thinking about Christine that he had completely forgotten that Meg was on the bed.
Raoul who heard the scream went running up the stairs. Christine and Madam Giry followed. He opened the door to the guest room and found Meg Giry sitting on the bed looking completely terrified. Madam Giry pushed her way passed Raoul to go see her daughter.
"Mom he was here the Phantom of the opera".
"You had him here" said Raoul irritatingly. "And you did not tell us". Madam Giry looked from Meg to Raoul.
"I was not sure if you were serious".
Christine started to cry.
"We were so close to finding him and know he is gone".
"Were would he have gone" said Raoul looking at Madam Giry.
"I have no idea. He could be anywhere". Madam Giry looked back at Meg.
"What were you doing in here"?
"I was coming to get my hair brush and I saw him. I saw the white mask. Then I passed out". Meg looked at Christine. Her friend. She saw how sad she was because the phantom was gone. "I am sorry Christine I did not mean…"
"It's ok meg. You did not know." Raoul put his arms around Christine in an attempt to comfort her.
"We better go back home we can continue to look for him tomorrow". Christine nodded and followed him out to the buggy. Madam Giry watched them go. She new how much Erik loved Christine and know that she saw how much Christine loved Erik she could not stand to see them separated. She had to go find Erik.
